N.Y. Rep.: Bush may have committed crime

WASHINGTON, April 6 (UPI) -- A member of Congress says President George W. Bush may have committed a crime if he authorized the leak of classified information to a reporter.

...

Rep. Maurice Hinchey, D-N.Y., said Thursday if Libby's testimony is true, the case goes "much deeper" than the CIA leak.

"The heart and motive of this case is about the deliberate attempt at the highest levels of this administration to discredit those who were publicly revealing that the White House lied about its uranium claims leading up to the war," said Hinchey on his Web site.

Hinchey said Bush may have "knowingly lied about uranium to the Congress, which is a crime."
